The YouTuber's post responded to a tweet by Sawyer Merritt, a prominent Tesla Inc. investor, who announced Fisker's bankruptcy filing.
这位 YouTuber 的帖子是对 Tesla 公司的杰出投资者 Sawyer Merritt 的一条推文做出的回应，他宣布了 Fisker 的破产申请。
Why It Matters: Fisker, a California-based EV manufacturer, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Tuesday. The company's estimated assets range from $500 million to $1 billion, with liabilities in the $100 million to $500 million range.
为什么重要：总部位于加利福尼亚的电动汽车制造商 Fisker 在周二申请了第11章破产保护。该公司的估值范围在5亿到10亿美元之间，负债在1亿到5亿美元之间。
Fisker had warned in February that it might not have enough funds to operate through the year. The company's shares were delisted from the New York Stock Exchange the following month due to low share prices, and potential investment talks with a major automaker collapsed, leaving Fisker's financial future uncertain.
Fisker 在2月份曾警告称，它可能没有足够的资金来支撑全年运营。由于股价低，该公司的股票在次月被从纽约证券交易所摘牌，潜在的与一家主要汽车制造商的投资谈判破裂，使 Fisker 的财务前景不确定。
Before this, Fisker's Austrian unit had filed for bankruptcy protection in May, stating that no other entities of Fisker were included in the restructuring.
在此之前，Fisker 的奥地利分公司已经申请了破产保护，并声明 Fisker 的其它实体均不包含在重组计划中。
The troubled EV maker continued to struggle with its financial issues, and the U.S. auto safety regulator had also launched an investigation into the company's 2023 Ocean SUVs over the unintended activation of its automatic emergency braking system.
问题多多的电动汽车制造商 Fisker 继续挣扎于财务难题之中，美国汽车安全监管机构还就该公司的2023款 Ocean SUV 的自动紧急制动系统意外激活问题展开了调查。
Amid fears of impending bankruptcy, Fisker had initiated a new round of layoffs to preserve cash. The company's CEO, Henrik Fisker, informed employees of the decision in an internal email, stating that the company was "continuing to evaluate all viable options for our business, including a potential transaction, and we are committed to identifying potential buyers and pathways to infuse capital into the business."
在破产的恐惧中，Fisker 为节省现金而启动了一轮新的裁员行动。该公司的CEO Henrik Fisker 在一封内部电子邮件中通知员工做出了这一决定，称公司"将继续评估所有可行的业务选择，包括潜在的交易，我们致力于寻找潜在的买家和注资路径。"
